17. When I lived in Marysville, Kansas I rode a hot pink bicycle absolutely everywhere
18. Embarrassingly, in the 8th grade I was the Delta County Rodeo Queen. (But I got a free saddle out of the deal, so it wasn’t so bad. Except for the terrible sequence blouses I was forced to wear.)
19. I posses the terrible habit of cracking my knuckles – fingers and toes.
20. I can drink milk with any meal. Yes – any.

39. At times, my passionate nature gets me in trouble.
40. I started collecting comic cards with my two brothers when I was a kid, and then was the only one of the three to continue the hobby past the age of 12. I have a few that are probably worth enough to pay for the rest of my college….

42. My biological father and Mom split up when I was about 6 – he is what some of you would call, a “douche bag.”

47. I don’t exercise as much as I feel I should.
48. I had an Uncle Ronnie who, when I was about 8, died after eating himself into a diabetic coma. When they found him, he had candy wrappers all over his bedroom floor. That was a pivotal moment in my life, forcing the realization that death is, in fact, not brought on by God (whatever name you may know him by) slapping you with his magic time wand because “he wants you hanging out in the clouds with him.”
49. I was, as I said in class Monday, raised by a hard core conservative Catholic mother, and the issues concerning that upbringing has been a monumental inspiration for many of my writings, art pieces, ideologies… (the list continues but here is where I stop typing)

58. I have dry eye disease. Egk. Pretty much, my eyes don’t create enough moisture on their own. Hence me hardly ever wearing contacts.
59. I was a dental assistant for about a year. I worked for a great doc, but staring down mouths all day wasn’t my thing, so it was back to school I go. (again…)
60. I have a tattoo… sshhhhh
61. I have a horse named Zeus , he’s a flea bitten grey (white with little speckles) and he is getting old. The day he dies will be a sad sad day. He rocks.
62. I know what I am going to school for… but I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up. There isn’t enough time in one lifetime to do all the things I feel like I am supposed to do.
63. I am usually pretty mellow and laid back, with a sarcastic twist
64. I do all I can to surround myself with vibrant, open-minded, optimistic people who challenge and shape my ways of thinking in what I consider, the right direction.
65. My weapon of choice – words.
66. I have dark black bob tail cat named Alexander the Great. I call him Zander for short, and ironically got him this past Halloween. When he meows, he sounds like he is whispering. He’s a sweetie.
67. Sometimes I speak before I sort out the “appropriate” phrasing or edit ideas in my mind, and my bluntness gives the impression that I am rude. *shrug*

69. Cheesy zombie flicks are super fun
70. I absolutely love to use a single, genuine smile to transform a total strangers entire day or attitude. Try it, it’s fun.

73. I would rather be outside.
74. Geology intrigues me, and I wish there was a living to still be made in fossil digging. I’d so be that chick.
75. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a mermaid so damn bad. Not because Walt Disney made them look hot, or because they are glued to all of the little girl fantasy stories along with fairies and princesses, but because I wanted so bad to be a part of a different world without being a martian. Or maybe a Jupiterian. *second shrug*
76. I have the compulsive need to touch things – in stores, outside, books, textures, everything. Well, almost everything. I don’t fondle the public toilet or anything...
77. It’s been said that the most beautiful form is a naked woman’s body. I always thought it was a naked a tree… leafless with every curved and twisted branch revealed, reaching upward. I don’t know if it is the eerie feel or the appreciation for the natural order and catching a glimpse of them without their skivvies on, but I love it.
78. I wouldn’t say I am terrified of many things. I am open to try just about anything once, within my moral boundaries.
79. I am not a picky/squeamish eater, not even a little. I don’t eat Jalapenos because they close up my throat and causes anaphylactic shock... but with that aside I will try it at least once.
80. I have been known to enjoy a sip or two of good wine…
81. Favorite town on earth (so far) is Boulder Colorado
82. My most anticipated traveling ambition is to voyage all over Ireland. I want to visit every pub, every church, and all the castles during the country’s greenest months. I always thought the most ideal year of all time would be to have the money and the time do spend 12 months going throughout this country, with no responsibility other than writing whatever it is I will be working on at the time and meeting as many new people that would take the time to talk.
83. I get embarrassed for people entirely to easy, and I tend to get wrapped up in what they may be feeling that at times I have a hard time differentiating the feeling as the viewer from the experiencer.
84. I sing oh so loud in my car when I don’t think you can see me. Or more importantly, hear me.
85. I am super ticklish.
86. Dusting, swiftering, and windexing are the three therapeutic cleaning tasks I don’t mind. (Unlike the daunting dish washing.. *shudder*)
87. The most horrifying experience I’ve had up to date happened on a Wednesday morning along I95 on my way to the University of DE for class. A truck and school bus had a nasty collision, and I had arrived a few seconds before the ambulance with their tarps. The visuals still haunt me sometimes.
88. For someone who loves to read and write as much as I do, I am a horrible speller.
89. Historically speaking, ancient Rome, Medieval Ireland, WWII (around the globe), and America’s roaring 20’s all very much intrigue me.
90. One of these days I am going to cover an entire wall of my house in clustered, collaged art pieces – paint, charcoal, color pencils, deco posh, photos, writing – then seal it to keep it safe. I have had this plan for a while… now for those kahoonies…
91. The smell of burp totally grosses me out
92. I have been wearing glasses since kindergarten, and am deemed legally blind without them.
93. I worry the most at night, right before I fall asleep. Then dream about the crap.
94. The movie Braveheart still gets me every time.
95. I am taking my son to Scottish Rite tomorrow. They are going to investigate and try to diagnose an unusual auto immune disease... talk about a nightmare.
96. I wouldn’t physically fight for a lot of things, but I would a million times over for my family.
97. I have only been to jail once, and it was, speak of the devil, due to a fight in high school. A big ‘ole gal started to raise her hand back to hit me (I am still confused as to why to this day) and I beat her to it – with my biology book. I slammed her upward in the nose. I had to sit that one out while she took care of the injury…
98. I was a vegetarian for a long time, then I got pregnant. No time is better for a steak than when you’re prego. I still only eat white meat for the most part now, though. For no other reason than attempting to stay healthy. (Don’t get me wrong, I love the animals and all that jazz… but PETA is a little over the top in my book. )
99. I get super duper car sick if I read while riding in a car. Bleh.
100. Last but not least… the only live thing I have ever shot was an armadillo with my dad’s shot gun. He was ruining my mom’s garden, and when I was visiting from college and about to embark on a little run, I caught 'em! yehaw. I was damned proud at the time. Cheve would have been for sure. I even have a picture I am going to hunt down and attach to this...
mmmm - morning hair and pitch fork for effect. That morning rocked.
